we drove down to everglades city for a nice paddling weekend thinking that we were going to camp out. when we saw the campground immediately knew that we needed to find another place. we come immediately pickEd up, and we were surprised to find a 1 bedroom with kitchen, waiting for us right on the river, for only 115 a...

After a couple of weks of cookie-cutter chain hotels, this place was a refreshing change! We had a good-size bedroom, spacious living/dining room, and a full kitchen, well furnished with dishes and cooking utensils as well as a full-size refrigerator! Wifi worked fine. There was also a porch with a great view of the river. It was like having an... More

Never been to Everglades City before and am soooo glad I did! The motel is perfect. If ONLY the weather had cooperated...the cold front has been at my heels since I left Ga! I'd LOVE to use their canoe to explore...but not happening with 30mph NEasterly. I have the #2 one bed unit and it's great! The view cannot be... More

this is a old place but very clean, the price was good the staff friendly. not for those who are looking to be entertained. its a island for the fisherman and his family. You can ride bikes and see the whole island in a day. Great history surrounds this place and is well worth the drive.

River Wilderness Waterfront Villas is perfect if you want to be right on the water (who doesn't?), able to cook for yourself (who doesn't with the fish one can catch?) and don't need to be babied. They have good quality canoes at the dock so you can paddle through the glades whenever you want, cooking equipment, and if you need... More

A magic experience, as close as possible from the wonderful natural landscape. The close proximity from those operating boat trips into the area is great. The managers are particularly kind and helpful, we... More

Think 1960s fishing camp when you stay in the villas.As has been noted in other reviews, the place is dated and not spotless. I have not tried the bed yet. The view from the porch is lovely and worth a one night visit. The owners seem like nice people and were friendly and helpful with dinner suggestions.

This is the second year in a row my father, his 90 year old friend, and myself have spent a nite at the River Wilderness in Everglades City before going out fishing early the next morning . And when we come back next year we will probably stay here again as it is very well suited for our needs, which... More
